Stanley Weyman, alguna vez un célebre autor de romances históricos, es ahora un gigante literario en gran parte olvidado de finales del siglo XIX. Si bien sus novelas superventas cautivaron a miles de lectores, hoy sus obras son en su mayoría descuidadas. Weyman fusionó magistralmente el romance de aventuras con los escenarios históricos de la Francia de los siglos XVI y XVII, resucitando héroes con mano amorosa. Su escritura se caracteriza por un uso elocuente del lenguaje y una mente aguda que combina la habilidad de narrador con la apreciación de un erudito por la historia, dando vida al pasado.
